Ben Shephard vents Tipping Point contestant has ‘no hope’ in ‘frustrating’ final round

BEN Shephard was left frustrated along with viewers over one Tipping Point contestant’s gameplay method.

Three hopefuls kicked off a new week of the ITV game show yesterday but one in particular stood out.

The programme sees players take on an ‘extraordinary’ machine to win a cash jackpot.

Viewers watched as Becs was the only player left to reach the finale.

She failed to knock the jackpot counter loose from the machine which would have seen her walk away with more cash.

Ben offered Becs the chance to try again but she opted instead to take home the £3,150 she had won.

“Oh, Becs! You did brilliantly up until the final round,” Ben said.

“You answered some questions, but decided to go for one counter, so we didn’t get as much action on the jackpot counter.

“So, frustratingly, it’s still sitting there on the top shelf… You’ve got no hope of getting the jackpot counter out.”

Fans at home were left frustrated with Becs too.

“She clearly hasn’t watched this show before if she can win with one counter,” said one viewer.

Another posted: “Christ almighty! Is this a record, three one-counter questions?”

Tipping Point airs weekdays from 4pm on ITV.
